What he said Part 3: 💯 🎯

It's like Fianna Fail and Fine Gael, have joined the club of pro- industry and billionaire politicians and are distinct from the likes of the GOP and the Tories only by words, as their actions and in-actions only advance goals of private money, to the detriment of the notion of a habitable planet

It is easy to unite over the goal to destroy. It is more complex to unite to build something - Right now, We need to unite over the goal to not let the planet be destroyed. Afterwards, It's not like we can't use the tools to deal with complexities, just because some reject debate and consensus.

All in!

I can tell you: there won't be sincere inquiry and redress, nor reconciliation, until the government is not made up of the parties whose legacy these institutions are. ‘They have been sidelined’ - historic trauma at Ireland's mental institutions jrnl.ie/6853901

Still no sign of responsibility to their children

Can I still identify as a hamburger? So confused by all this

End of

Politicians defending these despicable "legitimate concerns" protests have carried the ball up the pitch for the riots at citywest. Thank God Eimer is there cause none of these people, TDs included, seem to give a shit when it's a white Irish man brutalizing, abusing, or murdering women or children

Bike bunkers! One of my most common requests in inner city areas. Well, they're finally here. The contract has been signed and they're taking requests now. I'm off to apply for one!

At this point I would like to give a shout out to the Fossil Fuels Industry who are bucking the trend and are pulling in insane profits quarter after quarter, destroying the only Biosphere for lightyears. #FossilFuels #budget2025 #subsidies #traitors

If you do nothing for Nature but one thing this week - get onto your email and let your public representative have it - this clear- felling of native Irish woodland can't be let stand. Clear-felling not only destroyed some of the very few native trees left in Ireland, but a whole habitat with it.

In addition to being totally pathetic, he's also completely wrong. EPA polls consistently show that the vast majority, across all ages, incomes , urban or rural, all want the government to take action. So by polarising, he must mean that Micheal o Leary,Amazon, and Tirlan don't want it

Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”

As the Irish Minister for Agriculture vows to fight for the right to keep filling rivers with levels of agri-pollutants illegal in the rest of the EU, results show a massive leap of 16% in a single year.

The Climate Conversations 2025 survey is now open. The government is asking people to share their views on building a more sustainable future! Some of the questions are poorly designed and risk encouraging climate science denial, so it's vital that strong, evidence-based voices are heard!

What a birthday present!

Chisel this in stone. The way we're going, nobody in 50 years time will have access to the information required to understand and deal with the sudden changes our winters and summers will see. Or break the Fossil Industries hold on our leaders now. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.

Emergency Protest: Israel, Stop Killing Journalists! 6pm today at The Spire.

Three cheers for heroic UK police, who today bravely arrested hundreds of peaceful anti genocide protestors, half of whom were 60+ yrs old. Meanwhile, Israel murdered entire Al Jazeera news crew in Gaza today. But it’s apparently a crime to object to slaughter. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I'm afraid we just have to grasp the nettle and get on with improving the quality of our housing stock, embrace electricity as the fuel of the future, and stop building our systems on wasted energy.

In a nutshell

Good news! 🥳 From Oct '26, trawling activity by fishing vessels over 18m will be banned within 6 miles of shore. A huge win for conservation & small-scale fishers in Ireland. People power works - over 94% of submissions supported this outcome. www.gov.ie/ga/an-roinn-...

Today the order banning #PalestineAction as "terrorists" came into effect. But they are not terrorists. They are protesters trying to stop a genocide. This is a "first they came for ..." situation. Unless we stand in solidarity against this assault on our freedom, they will pick us off one by one.

This FF/FG government doesn’t give a shite about a safer climate. ⬇️

The pathway to transition Ireland towards fossil free energy and lower bills for all of us, laid out (again) by Friends of the Earth. Nothing radical in here, this is all stuff that can be done if we just stopped pandering to fossil fuel lobbyists.

I saw Brian Wilson's headlining performance at the Electric Picnic in 2009, and the experience has stayed with me ever since It's a story I often tell to people when asked what Ireland is like - that gig like no other made me understand the pure joy people here can feel at lifting up one another. .

Bitter defeats for Weidel: After the big news of election successes the AFD has not been able to keep it up, and they have won NO other seats in local government. Suckers! #AFD #kommunalpolitik #ratlickers blog.campact.de/2025/06/**af...

Ironic that the largest expansion of rural transport in the last 30 years came courtesy of their nemesis, Éamon Ryan!

Last month UK group @insuranceboycott.bsky.social launched a report of insurance companies still underwriting climate chaos, despite their green claims. 5 companies, Allianz, AXA, Aviva, Zurich and Intact were found to invest cumulatively $6.5 billion in 115 fossil fuel companies. Thread:

“Companies need to seriously consider whether the environmental claims they make stack up - particularly, as this case shows, when claiming that their polluting products are “carbon neutral”.
